Chapter 2.8, Problem 1P
Table 2.3 breaks down the number of major jobs or activities involved in painting a two-story house.
- a. Develop a CPM network.
- b. Determine the critical path of the network.
- c. Determine the expected project’s duration time period.
Table 2.3: Problem 1
(a)
Expert Solution

To determine
A CPM network.
Explanation of Solution
The CPM network for the data given in the Table 2.3 is shown below:
(b)
Expert Solution

To determine
The critical path of the network.
Answer to Problem 1P
The critical path activities are as follows.
Critical Paths |
A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K |
A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K |
A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K |
A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K |
Explanation of Solution
Using Excel spread sheet the network path is framed and its critical path is identified and shown below:
Activity | Early Start Time | Early Finish Time |
Duration | Late Start Time | Late Finish Time |
Float/Slack |
Formula:
The identified network paths are shown below with duration:
Paths | Duration |
A-B-D-E-F-H-J-K | 23 |
A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K | 26 |
A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K | 26 |
A-C-D-E-F-H-I-K | 23 |
A-C-D-E-F-H-J-K | 23 |
A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K | 26 |
A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K | 26 |
The path with the longest duration is the critical path. Hence, the critical path activities are as follows.
Critical Paths |
A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K |
A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K |
A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K |
A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K |
(c)
Expert Solution

To determine
The expected project duration time.
Explanation of Solution
Refer part (b)
The expected project duration time is shown below:
Paths | Duration |
A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K | 26 |
A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K | 26 |

An ideal germanium pn junction diode has the following parameters: Na = 4 × 10¹5 cm³,
Na = 2 × 10¹7 cm³, D₂ = 48 cm²/s, D₁ = 90 cm²/s, Tpo = T = 2 × 10-6 s, and
A = 104 cm². Determine the diode current for (a) a forward-bias voltage of 0.25 V
and (b) a reverse-biased voltage of 0.25 V.
7.20 (a) The peak electric field in a reverse-biased silicon pn junction is |E|= 3 × 105 V/cm.
The doping concentrations are N = 4 × 10¹5 cm³ and N. = 4 × 107 cm³. Find the
magnitude of the reverse-biased voltage. (b) Repeat part (a) for N₁ = 4 × 10 16 cm³ and

Write a complete Java program named FindSumAndAverage that performs the following tasks in 2-D array:
Main Method:
a. The main() method asks the user to provide the dimension n for a square matrix. A square matrix has an equal number of rows and columns.
b. The main() method receives the value of n and calls the matrixSetUp() method that creates a square matrix of size n and populates it randomly with integers between 1 and 9.
c. The main method then calls another method named printMatrix() to display the matrix in a matrix format.
d. The main method also calls a method named findSumAndAverage() which:
• Receives the generated matrix as input.
• Calculates the sum of all elements in the matrix.
• Calculates the average value of the elements in the matrix.
• Stores these values (sum and average) in a single-dimensional array and returns this array
• e. The main method prints the sum and average based on the result returned from findSumAndAverage()).
Enter the dimension n for the square…

- Draw the complete circular stator winding for a three phase delta connected AC generator consisting of 4 poles and 24 slots using a parallel connection. Your submission must consist of two drawings as follows: One drawing must show the winding arrangement of the phasegroups in the slots of the stator highlighting the start and finish of each phasegroup The other drawing must show only the end connections of each phase group for a parallel connection of the phasegroups and a delta connection of the phases The use of AutoCad or any other software is encouraged.arrow_forward3.2 Consi parabolic equation (Eq. 3.1) 3.3 Again consider Example 3.4.
